It may or may not work in Work Profile. Test. Investigate. Fix.

The permission gets removed randomly. As if it's cleared by some timeout maybe...

It's not just netfilx. Amazon Prime, Yammer, LinkedIn and other apps too.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with workprofiles vs RDNS or maybe a problem introduced by the insular app... but I do think that it has to do with the workprofile vs RDNS.

It would be nice if someone could try and test this.

In my case the internet access setting vanishes after a few hours. Not sure if the app (netflix etc) have to be in a stopped mode or if the whole work profile has to be deaktivated. On the other hand, I already had the issue that the access was deactivated even though the work profile was still active.

I guess this is the same as https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/626

That one is an outright crash on Work Profile; while this bug is something super weird involving auto-deactivation and internet-disconnectivity and what-not. We haven't had the chance to test Rethink on Work Profile ourselves, though.

A user says,

Is there a way to have the wireguard VPN function provide VPN for the work profile?

Since the only option is application based (no full device coverage).

Hence the Rethink DNS application appears to provide coverage for the personal profile since Telegram and other applications that are installed in the work profile are shown so that they can be added to the wireguard vpn or even appearing on the RethinkDNS "Stats" tab.

No applications installed in the Work Profile are visible.
